Shloka 9
Satya-lakṣaṇa (The Characteristics and Forms of Truth) | सत्यलक्षणम्
नारद उवाच शाल्मले विपरीत ते दर्शन नात्र संशय: । न हि वायोर्बलेनास्ति भूतं तुल्यबलं क्वचित्
nārada uvāca | śālmale viparīta te darśanaṃ nātra saṃśayaḥ | na hi vāyor balenāsti bhūtaṃ tulyabalaṃ kvacit |
ນາຣະດະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂອ ສາລະມະລີ, ຄວາມເຂົ້າໃຈຂອງເຈົ້າໃນເລື່ອງນີ້ຜິດ—ບໍ່ມີຂໍ້ສົງໄສ. ເພາະບໍ່ມີສັດມີຊີວິດໃດໃນທີ່ໃດທີ່ມີກຳລັງເທົ່າກັບກຳລັງຂອງລົມ».
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Nārada corrects a mistaken viewpoint and teaches humility: one should not overestimate oneself or underestimate cosmic forces; the wind’s power is presented as unmatched among beings.
In a didactic exchange, Nārada addresses Śālmali and rebukes his incorrect understanding, asserting that no creature equals Vāyu in strength, thereby setting a hierarchy of power to correct pride or error.
